Before you put that $59.90 worth of tomes on your shelf to collect dust, consider utilizing them for Springboard Adventures. In the case of The Rise of Tiamat, for instance, now that Tiamat has either triumphed or failed, What’s a Springboard the DM provides the next chapter: What’s next?

Springboard Adventures for Tyranny of Dragons Storyline Benefits to the “Novice” Dungeon Master Some Dungeon Masters are more comfortable running out of a published adventure than creating one from scratch. I certainly fall into that category. Or perhaps you started Tyranny of Dragons as a novice Dungeon Master, and the first place you turned was to a published adventure. As Fifth Edition was a new set of rules, that’s natural. Congratulations for taking that step. Being a Dungeon Master is a rewarding part of play. By using Tyranny as a Springboard, a “novice” DM (though anyone who has run Wait for your chance to Tyranny can no longer rightly be called a true reintroduce the next adventure. “novice”) need not feel like they have to start p fresh.

A tradition of replay The approach I’m exploring in this product, re-using a published adventure, is far from new. A whole generation of Dungeon Masters once took adventures such as In Search of the Unknown, Keep on the Borderlands, The Isle of Dread and Castle Amber and mined their contents again and again Samplefor new play opportunities. And those modules were no larger than 32 pages. file But their approach, making the most of those modules’ component parts and using them to launch new adventures, remains tried and true. Page 5!
